Chapter 138: Poor Hospitality
"Young Mrs. Qiyu, Mama Qiao from the needlework room is here again!" It was just past noon, but I listened to An Qiyu's report.
Cheng Yiyao also understood a little in her heart, I was afraid that something was wrong, and now she had just taken over the housekeeper, and a novice should not be bullied, which is not in line with some people's temperament.
I was going to take a nap, but now it seems that it is in the soup: "Let her in!" ”
"Slave and maid, see young lady!" Mama Qiao stepped forward to give a blessing, but her face was much more ugly than in the morning.
"What's wrong? Have you sent all the clothes to each room? Cheng Yiyao asked.
"Back to the young lady, they were all sent, but," Mama Qiao said, "the third room will be returned!" ”
"Oh? Is there a reason to say why? Cheng Yiyao looked at Mama Qiao's face but was still calm.
Seeing Cheng Yiyao like this, Mama Qiao was also a lot more relieved, and said: "The third lady said that these are all old styles, and if they are worn out, they will lose the face of Situ Mansion, so let the slave maid take it back and redo it, but where is it too late now!" ”
At that time, the third lady said, "You let Cheng wear such an old style, we can't afford it, take it back and make it for me again!" But Mama Qiao didn't dare to say this.
To say that these new clothes should have been done a long time ago, but because Cheng Yiyao and Situ You's marriage was in a hurry, the whole Situ Mansion was busy making wedding items at that time, and this matter was delayed until now.
"Since the third aunt can't look down on the clothes prepared in the second room, forget it over there, it's good that our hearts have arrived, you go back to make the winter clothes of the next person, you can't let everyone have new clothes to wear for the New Year!" Cheng Yiyao said with a smile. "Okay, send the clothes from the third room to me in a while, you guys can just be busy with yourself!"
Mama Qiao was overjoyed when she heard this, these years of them have also been aggrieved, saying that they are the subordinates of the second room, but they have to do all the things in the house, but the subordinates of the other rooms only need to take care of the affairs of their own room. How can people not be depressed: "Young lady Mingjian!" ”
"Alright. You go down first, it's almost the New Year, and it's hard for you! Cheng Yiyao waved her hand to signal Mama Qiao to go down, and said to An Xiao. You go and send Mama Qiao! ”
Hmph, it's okay if they can't get along with themselves, and now if they can't get along with themselves, then don't blame her for being rude. Cheng Yiyao knows that the more you tolerate some people, the more they will have to make inches. Thinking that everything should be taken for granted, then she will let them see what is really right!
The next day, Ningjuin Temple-
"Mother, what do you think of what Rokuro's daughter-in-law did?" The third lady took a handkerchief to wipe away the tears that were already not there, "You just fell ill and did this to our third room." Even the new clothes for the New Year are willing to prepare for us, and the people in the needlework room are in a hurry to make the clothes of the next person and refuse to make a set for us.
My lord and I are already old and can wear last year's old clothes, but Sister Xi has reached the age of talking about marriage. How good is that! As he spoke, he began to weep.
The old lady Huo De, who was originally lying on the bed, got up: "Okay, you are a Cheng family, you only took over the housekeeper for a few days, and you dare to be so rampant." I'll pay it back later! Suddenly remembering that he was still pretending to be sick, he suddenly clutched his chest and began to cough desperately.
Zhai, who was looking at the side, couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, don't pretend to be good, everyone knows that it's pretending, just playing with it!
"You, go and ask someone to bring me Cheng's family!" Stretched out his hand to Zhai Shi and said tremblingly.
Zhai Shi lightly said: "Mother takes care of herself, don't be angry!" ”
"Go and call me Cheng!" Mrs. Situ couldn't care about it, and she was still pretending to be sick and hysterical.
"Yes, daughter-in-law, let's go!" Zhai bowed and said, "Look at this anger, my mother's complexion is much better, and Cheng's is also crooked!" But I couldn't laugh in my heart.
"Call me!" The old lady suddenly picked up the medicine bowl on the small pestle and smashed it.
Zhai took a step back, and a few maids stepped forward to block the medicinal juice that didn't splash her, and saluted the old lady and said, "Daughter-in-law retreats first!" Then he turned and left.
Out of the house, Zhai said to Yin Yu, who was dressed in medicinal juice on the side: "I have wronged you today!" ”
Yin Yu hurriedly said: "The slave is frightened, it is the duty of the slave to protect the master!" ”
"You're a good one, go back and change your clothes, and by the way, let someone invite the sixth young lady over!" Zhai Shi picked up Yinyu and went to the east room, she didn't have the heart to watch the two people sing and harmonize.
Cheng Yiyao didn't feel strange when she received the news, if she didn't come to her at this time, she should be worried, but she was not worried at this time, and said: "I'll clean up and go over, you go back first!" ”
The little maid bowed down and retreated as promised, and Cheng Yiyao gave some orders before going to Ningshou Courtyard.
As soon as he entered the inner room, he felt two sharp eyes reaching towards him, and he saluted: "Granddaughter-in-law has seen grandmother and mother!" Then he said to a few ladies on the side, "I've seen the eldest aunt and a few aunts!" ”
The old lady glared at Cheng Yiyao: "Cheng, you are guilty!" ”
Cheng Yiyao looked at the old lady suspiciously, and said, "Did the granddaughter-in-law do anything inappropriate?" He said apologetically to Zhai's family, "My daughter-in-law has just taken over, and it is inevitable that some things will not be done well, and I ask my mother to give me advice!" ”
"Hmph, you did a good job, you did a good job, you just took over the housekeeper, and you started not to buy winter clothes for your third uncle and them, it's really good!" Old Madam Situ looked at Cheng Yiyao with a sneer.
"Didn't my mother buy it earlier?" Cheng Yiyao looked at everyone suspiciously, "I asked the people in the sewing room to send them to each room yesterday!" ”
"You!" The third lady was angry for a while, but she came back to her senses, "Didn't I ask people to go back and let the people in the needlework room do it again, why have the people in the needlework room been rushing to make the next person's winter clothes!" She was almost spared by Cheng Yiyao, so she regained her confidence, glared at Cheng Yiyao, and waited for her to give an explanation.
Cheng Yiyao looked at Zhai Shi strangely and said, "Didn't my mother's other rooms live in our house because she wanted to take care of her grandmother nearby?" Fu looked at the third lady and said, "The filial piety of the third uncle and the third aunt is really touching the nephew and daughter-in-law, and it is difficult for the third uncle and the third aunt to live in our house all these years, and they can't go home when the New Year is approaching.
There are more than ten days to go before the New Year, and there are many complicated things in the house, so I will take over at this time, and I may be too busy to take care of it. (To be continued) R466
